Obama Lied, People Died

Will the media be as as neutral and objective as they claim to be and start calling Barack Obama a liar, while referring henceforth, obsessively, to the lies, real or alleged, of the Obama administration, just as they did with Dubya during the Bush administration?

U.S. intelligence officials knew within 24 hours of the assault on
the U.S. Consulate in Libya that it was a terrorist attack and suspected
Al Qaeda-tied elements were involved, sources told Fox News -- though
it took the administration a week to acknowledge it.

The account sharply conflicts with claims on the Sunday after the
attack by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice that the
administration believed the strike was a "spontaneous" event triggered
by protests in Egypt over an anti-Islam film.

Two senior U.S. officials said that the Obama administration
internally labeled the attack terrorism from the first day in order to
unlock and mobilize certain resources to respond, and that officials
were looking for one specific suspect.

… Further, an official said, "No one ... believed that the mortars,
indirect and direct fire, and the RPGs were just the work of a mob -- no
one."

Better yet, will the crowds now be singing the mantra "Obama lied, people died"?
